Madden, which oc curred in Brown Franklin's restaurant, the latter was site', tvlco and othorwise injured by Hilb The wounds were at first thought to be of a fatal character, but after extracting the ball which en tered his body, and dressing the scalp wounds, the attending surgeoa an nounced that, white, the wounds were dangerous, his chances for recovery we e good. The shots were fired at close range, soo'oae that Mail den's face was blaokentd and hisolothing powder burned. The most serious wound is the shot which entered the left shoul der at the top of the scapular and ranged downward, pas-dug between the ribs and the muscles, lodging in the lumbar region. This bullet was oxtraoted and the other wounds dressed by Drs Hugh-s and Schayer. Accounts of the affa'r vary. It seems that these men, with several friends, were getting dinner at Franklin's res taurant A quarrel started up be tween Hill and a klnnsman of his, when Madden, it is said, interferred. Hid resented this and warned Madden to desist. The quarrel became heated. Finally, It is stated, Hill threw a dip P3r of water In Madden's face. With this insult Madden dre v his knifo and made at Hill,. who in turn pulled bis pistol and struck Maddon on the head with the weapon several blows. In striking Madden tin pistol was dis charged three times Madden fell to the floor badly stunned and da;,nd. He was given prompt attention. Hill sur rendered to the sheriff at once. He was not hurt in the tight. Wess Madden is a prosperous farmer and resides about 7 miles .South of Lau rens. Bud Hill is alco a young farmer who livos three miles Eist of the city. Upon the application of Hill's attor neys and the presentation of a certifi cate from tin doctors, stating Mad den's condition favorable with chances good for his recovery, Magistrate Hud gens yesterday afternoon granted bail in the proper sum and Hill was re leased.

Daley In Stock inn u nml Fanner. She had always been a good mother. Sho gave birth to thirteen pigs, nud in half an hour after the pigs were born three of them were missing, and in ubout an hour three more were gone. Then as sho was very tame and kind I got where 1 could watch, and In a few minutes she took one in her mouth, und It dis appeared in two seconds. I went for some salt pork, and when I came back only four could be found. I gave her four pounds of the moat, nil she would eat, and the next morning only two could be found, and as the pigs had nursed they wore very slow to learn to cut, but I took them from her. Last fall she had thirteen. As I intended to kill her, I thought she would futten better and be more profitable in cold weather. She began eating them again as hoforc and had only eight left. I got a large pall of cold water from the well and poured it very slowdy on the back of her head on tho bralu (if she had any), and she raised the eight all right. This mado her 'pretty stiff, but she canio out all right, pigs and all. One of my neighbors tried the same plan, and the result was tho same. It stopped her eating hor pigs instantly. Swine In Texnt. The hog interests are going forward steadily throughout Texas. Growing crops will be fed to hogs by the graz ing process this season. Having clear ly in mind a succession of these crops, the farmer sees his way to a cheap fat hog. This also largely insures against disease. Take growing grains and alfalfa for early spring grazing, followed by sorghum, rape, cowpeas and peanuts. Here Is pork making feed that leads right up to the corn crlh. Feed a little grain all along, and the larger fellows are ready for the market at any time the price is right. Summer prices of pork are usually best.?Farm and Ranch. BaeUtvlient an a Feed For Hogi. Buckwheat is so valuuble for human food that it is rarely used to feed farm animals. The hulls are mostly fiber end poor, but the middlings are most nutritious, snys Professor F. 8. Cooloy of Massachusetts Agricultural college. Feeding trials of ground buckwheat for hogs, covering 140 days, have shown no bad effects and a remarkably rapid gain. The galus nppeur to bo moro rapid than with most grains because bogs consume larger quantities of tho buckwheat. The consumption of feed per pound of grain, however, is rather greater than with corn and wheat Alfalfii For Drnnd Sown. Wnllaco's Farmer soys nlfnJfn Jmy when fed to brood bows in whiter should be cut fine and fed with a llttlo meal. We Und this is not ueoessnry. For two years now we have wintered our brood sows on plain alfalfa hay without cutting, and they eat it up clean. Not a spoonful of grain is given them until they farrow. Tbo ofl'eot of the alfalfa is seen in tho splendid qual ity of the pigs produced and tho abun dant yield of milk by the sows. ? Hoard's Dairyman.
